NOTE: Using Green River in place of Rivière-Verte Parish will lead to the village of the same name where the English term was used formally until 1935.

Rivière-Verte Parish was set up in 1935 and named for the local river of the same name. (Source:Place Names of New Brunswick) Green River is sometimes used in place of Rivière-Verte in English publications. Prior to 1935 the area had been part of Saint Basile Parish.
